Rnles for Mothers and Babes.

DR.. Fiske-Bryson Is the pioneer in a
movement TO teach the mothers a Few san
itary rules which will, in her opinion, ma
~terially lessen the death rate. Her IDEA -
that some Of the intelligent, philanthroplc
women Of this city who have the leisure
should volunteer their services and devote
4 little time each week 10 the Instruction
nj tenement house women in the proper
way TO battle, clOthe and feed their emil
dren. The doctor says that the few les
sons which she has been able TO give these
women in the course of her practice have
been very beneficial during the present
heated term. The doctor proposes TO have
printed on the cards for distribution in
the tenement houses the following list OF
"D0n'ts:'
Don't give the baby meat, beer. whisky, cab
bage or berries.
Don't put heavy winter fannels on the baby In
July and August.
Don't battle the baby once in a while; battle II
twice a day during July and August, NJ 10 O'Clock
ia the morning and at Z o'clock In the afternoon.
Don't feed the baby whenever It frets or cries.
Feed it at regular times during the day, and then
rs maps will BE- longer.
Don't let the baby sleep with other children.
In a conversation with a reporter this
morning, the doctor said: More than
1000 infants perish every year in New
York city between the middle Of June and
the middle Of September from summer
diarrhuea. The prevalence Of the disease
is i'm direct proportion to the height of the
temperature. OyercrOwded and anti
hygienic surrounding predispose 10 1t.
Among the children Of tenement hOuse
districts and in asylums II prevails eX-
tensiyely. The greatest mortality occurs
during hot. still, sultry days. Gases from
cesspools. malarial influences. vegetable
and animal decomposition are powerful
p~redispOsing causes. The death rate OF
New York children from this disease Is
twice that Of any other city in the world.
The improper feeding and management OF
infancy in the densely packed tenement
house districts has more 10 do with the
prevalence Of cholera infantum than high
temperature, OyercrOwdiug or poverty
itself. Ignorance is at the bottom of 1t,
and the main cause Of disease and death
among infants.
The impurities which abound in the
air through the action Of atmospheric
heat are very numerous. They are Both
gaseous and solid. A theory deserving
consideration is that certain gaseous i'm
purities found i'm the afr form purgatiye
combinations. Particles OF solid impwi-
ties are literally the m0tes in the sun
beam which are visible when viewing it
ina a darkoued room. They consist
largely Of organic matter, often carried a
long distance by prevailing winds. The
hazy appearance of the atmosphere rest
ing over New York city when viewed at q
distance on a sultry. quiet summer day is
largely due To solid impurities. New

BASEBALL NOTES.

Pitcher Atkisson has been released by the
Athletics.
Herman leads such men as Arson, Wise,
Conner, Ward and Kelly.
President Wiman has given Manager Cay
lor carte blanche in the matter Of signing
players.
Before he was released Weidman asked 10
be given an opportunity to pitch a farewell
game for the Detroits, but his request was
not granted.
Capt. Tom Burns laughs at the report that
be wants TO resign the captaincy Of the Balti-
mores, and says he will stay there if Manager
Barnie is satisfied. win OF loose.
Last season Silver Flint, Of the Chicagos,
ranked ffty-seyenth in the batting averages,
while this season, in the thirty-three games
he played, he is placed fifteenth. 4 big up
ward bound for the old back stop.
A clergyman acts as pitcher for the Albion
MOI team. but under no circumstances will
he allow any Of his players TO kick. The Al
bions recently played the Grinnells and de
feated them 9 10 6 and submitted 20 several
questionable decisions.
It seems strange that all the leagues find
such trouble with umpires. The plan that
has been repeatedly Advocated In these coli
umns. says The Boston Courier, is worth q
trial. Appoint a man ike Bob" Ferguson in
charge OF the staff OF umpires and let him bo
responsible Tor the supply of good men. The
plan is worth trying. IL can't result half as
badly as the present one of home umpiring.
No more conscientious player appears on
the diamond than Roger Conner, New York's
big first baseman. He has played in no less
than eighty-six games, which gives him bet
ter record than any other player IN tine league.
Ward follows, with e~ighty-fve; Morrill, and
Johnston, of the Bstons. eighty-f0ur. and
Thompson, of the Detroit; Fogarty, OF the
Philadelphia, and Ryan, Williamson and
Burns, OF Chicago, eighty-three.
Briody has been formally notified by Man
ager Watkins that he viii bee retained in the
Detroit club for the remainder Of the season,
hut judging from the present indications 1t is
not likely that he will be given am opportu-
nifty % earn very much Of his salary by work
behind the bat. Manager Watkins intends 20

THE PARTY.

The wisest of political philosophers
said that a party should be taught the
moral of power. That is just what we
want to tell our brethren Of the Demo
cracy now. The party has the Federal
administratio on and the prestige of vic
tory won after long years of fighting
against superior odds and power.
The Democracy won the great battle
In 1884 by its t%enacity to a great prin'
ciple.
The Republicans turned the Govern
ment into a great junk shop and job
office for selling stocks, contracts, and
offices. The recent display Of corruption
In the land Office is only a specimen Of
the great system Of corruption.
The Democratic party, as soon as il got
the power, proceeded TO reform all such
rules by which the Government had been
made a receiyership for thieves The
people have recognized this and the
reelection of the Democratic champion
who inaugurated the great reform is GER
tain. The party! 1t is the party of
Democratic principles andfree govern
ment.
II is the party of safety and liberty.
Whatever be the faults of local misman-
agement let us stand by our party. The
other party is the party Of ring rule,
sristocrscy, plumber, Malone, and ruin.
